Forsaken Eloi

One of the internet guys who's even Rightier than me, and a bit of a moralizer, says that a lot of (White) Westerners have now become Eloi. These are one of the two post-human races in HG Wells' 1895 Time Machine.

The Eloi are the child-like, frail group, living a serene and banal life of ease on the surface of the earth, while the Morlocks live underground, tending machinery and providing food, clothing and infrastructure for the Eloi.

But you know where the Morlocks get their food? The Eloi.

Back in 2008, one of the Western Eloi was Italian artist Pippi Bacca. She went off alone to promote peace in the Middle East by hitchhiking, dressed as a bride.

A young Canadian-American couple, husband and wife, --Josh and Caitlin, really--set off for...wait for it...Afghanistan. She has a liver ailment. And...wait for it...she's pregnant. They apparently wanted to join a humanitarian aid group to help...wait for it...the Afghans. Now they're missing.

Daddy described her as "naive, adventuresome, idealistic, and with a humanitarian bent."

I've met them before, their type, imagining that their cool global intentions and self-regarding leapfrog morality* will shield them from the world.

“In 2011," continues Daddy, "they spent 4 months travelling throughout all the countries of Central America, returning for Thanksgiving. They enjoyed staying in hostels and tents, connecting as much as possible with local people and helping out as opportunities arose.” (ExC's italics).

Eloi. The West's elite is full of them. Too good, as they say, for this world.

Food for Morlocks.

*Leapfrog morality is the current Western moral fad, which values people in direct proportion to their distance from them. As Sailer says, “Modern liberals’ defining trait is making a public spectacle of how their loyalties leapfrog over some unworthy folks relatively close to them in favor of other people they barely know.”

I can't help thinking that these Eloi fools are the rootless and clueless ancestors descendents of the Protestant (proto-humanitarian) medical, teaching and social missionaries of the 19th century. At least those idealists believed that they were bettering their inferiors. The current versions believes we are all equal and that we owe it to these strangers, who are both the victims of our White Western colonialism, etc. blah blah and deeply spiritual.

Talk about a civilization dying not with a bang but with a whimper.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

In A Nutshell

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's onlyjob is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.

Demography as Destiny

"...then the end of the Roman republic was at hand, and nothing could save it. The laws were the same as they had been, but the people behind the laws had changed, and so the laws counted for nothing." Theodore Roosevelt, 1911

Multiculti Suicide

"Modern liberal societies in Europe and North America* celebrate their own pluralism and multiculturalism, arguing in effect that their identity is to have no identity."

Francis Fukuyama

Identity & Migration (2007)

*(White societies, that is.)

Equality's Dark Side (Oops, is that raciss?)

"“The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality or to get men to believe you love it. Thus, the science of despotism, which was once so complex, is simplified, and reduced ... to a single principle.” Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835
